Is Windows Defender Enough for Your Business? A Side-by-Side Look at Bitdefender GravityZone11/4/2025
Reported by Ngo Wei Cheng  IntroductionCyberattacks today are far more advanced than simple viruses. Businesses now face phishing campaigns, ransomware, credential theft, and targeted intrusions that can cause serious financial and reputational damage.
Windows 11 includes Microsoft Defender Antivirus — a capable, built-in security solution that provides a solid foundation for personal use. But is it strong enough for a business environment? In this guide, we’ll compare Windows Defender and Bitdefender GravityZone (BDGZ) to help you decide which offers the protection your organization truly needs. Reported by: Nurul Addina Azime  When we talk about operations, support, and keeping things running smoothly here at 57Network, we often focus on the what and how of work: meeting SLAs, updating the Sales Dashboard every Monday, juggling intern recruitment, managing files, etc. But there’s another layer that’s just as powerful, the who and the wellbeing behind those tasks.
That’s why I was excited to dive into Gallup’s research on employee wellbeing. Their findings illuminate something we already feel here: when our people thrive—not just work—they’ll carry that energy into everything they do at 57Network.

Reported by: Nurul Addina Azime  As a fully remote employee at 57Network, I’ve been paying close attention to the evolving conversation around remote work and Gallup’s recent insights really resonate with me.
The Surprising Reality: Fewer Hours, Same Output Based on my reading, Gallup’s latest findings reveal that remote-capable employees now work, on average, about an hour less per day compared to 2019. This isn’t just about cutting commute times—the drop goes deeper, with people redirecting 30 to 60 minutes toward leisure or personal activities each day. This trend hits close to home literally. I’ve found myself clocking fewer hours than I used to, but here’s the surprising part: my productivity hasn’t dipped. If anything, it feels steadier, thanks to sharper focus, better time management, and a rhythm that fits the way I work best. Reported by Ngo Wei Cheng  The Cybersecurity Challenge for Malaysian SMEsCyberattacks are evolving fast, moving away from traditional malware to fileless techniques, zero-day exploits, and living-off-the-land (LOTL) attacks. In a LOTL attack, adversaries don’t bring their own malware. Instead, they hijack built-in system tools like Microsoft's PowerShell or WMI to blend in with normal activity. Because these tools are trusted and already part of the operating system, such attacks are notoriously difficult to detect and often slip past signature-based antivirus solutions.
Reported by: Nurul Addina Azime  In today’s fast-paced business world, fostering employee growth isn’t just a noble goal, it’s a strategic imperative. Based on my reading from Gallup, many organizations still struggle with surprising and persistent hurdles, even though the benefits of development are crystal clear. At 57Network, this resonates deeply with us as we believe that growth and learning should be embedded in the flow of work, not treated as an afterthought.
